Did you know that the historic center of Riga boasts the largest collection of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe?

With more than a third of the buildings Riga's central district is built in a style of Art Nouveau. The style which developed in Riga between 1896 and 1913 was influenced mainly by German, Austrian and Finnish architects. Most typical elements of Art Nouveau buildings are steep roofs, heavy structures and the use of ethnographic ornamental motifs.

Most impressive examples of the style can be found on Elizabetes, Alberta and Strelnieku Streets. In total, there are over 800 Art Nouveau buildings in Riga. Buildings by one of the most famous architects, Mikhail Eisenstein, can be found at Elizabetes 10a and 10b, as well as at Alberta 2, 2a, 4, 8 and 13. On Alberta 13 stands a fully restored building from 1904 which now houses the Riga Graduate School of Law.



The Art Nouveau district is located just in a 10 minutes walk from the Art Hotel Laine. So take a stroll enjoying the amazing monuments of Art Nouveau architecture in Riga. To find out more about the heritage of Riga book a private city walking tour lead by a local guide.
